First off, I’d like to thank everyone for their love and support over the past 4 years, we never would have made it this far without each other. With that being said I have some bad news, the 2 Bit will officially be closing September 20th, 2014. We started with a benefit and we will be ending with a benefit for suicide prevention.

The former Bit Saloon reopened in May of 2010, when Jessica Young and Jamie Bernard took over ownership of the institution. The Bit Saloon had been in Ballard since 1947 (originally called John’s Offshore Tavern), and its dive bar atmosphere was a local favorite.

Between now and its closure in late September, the bar will now be accepting cash only.

Sorry to see you go I worked at Seattle Cedar Lumber just across the street back in the 50s and stopped by after work for a cold one before going home it was a great place to unwind.
Maybe you could come down to Aberdeen Wash. and open up a new 2-bit that would be great good luck to you.
